I've signed Listserv support list for sometime and this was a frequent
question. The Precedence: list header isn't in any standard. If I
remember well you will find info just in sendmail docs. It was invented
by Eric Allman, who is the author of Sendmail mail and of the vacation
program. Listserv refuses to add it since it isn't  in the standards.

I agree that there's no problem adding it, since it avoids problems to
the list.
